Curious on your guys opinion on keeping the side marker lights or eliminating them on a 68 pickup? If i keep the side marker lights i was plan on putting in the clear lenses.

I would keep the markers but I would not use the clear my truck came with them and I took them off within the first day they looked "Ricey" for my taste....

On my 70 LowBuck I lowered the lights and flushed them into the body. Still has the stock look with a twist.

i couldnt decide on what i wanted to do with mine either but ive decided on leaving them and just hooking them up to the head and tail lights

I think the clear ones look pretty nice on you truck Al, you would just need the clear turn signals also.

68's were only used as reflectors anyway, no lights inside... If you get rid of them then it will look like a 67..

68 did have optional side marker lights... they weren't standard untill 70. (they were a required option on any cab/chassis truck with the dual rear wheels)
I would leave them.

on a 68 i think they look best shaved, but on the 69-72 i would keep them. the clear ones look good on certain colors along with the factory ones but if you do keep them use the 2 bar ones not the solid lens
